Abstract

A power voltage required to operate the switch control device is generated by using full-wave current rectification voltage generated by rectifying an AC input. A zero cross-point is detected when a full-wave rectification voltage is zero voltage by using the power voltage. A reference signal synchronized to the full-wave rectification voltage is generated by using the detected zero cross-point. A switching operation of a power switch is controlled by comparing a reference signal with current that flows on the power switch.
